This is a prevailing wage determination document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for heavy construction projects in Windham County, Vermont. The General Decision Number VT20260064 was published on January 2, 2026, superseding the previous determination VT20250064. It applies to heavy construction projects, including sewer and water construction work, based on survey data from August 6, 2019 (SUVT2017-003).

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for various classifications required on federally funded construction contracts in the specified geographic area. Key wage rates include: Carpenter at $22.81/hour with $13.40 fringe benefits; Electrician at $24.56/hour with $12.63 fringe; Laborer (Common or General) at $17.90/hour with $1.51 fringe; Equipment Operators ranging from $21.01 to $22.48/hour with fringes of $0.00 to $3.26; Traffic Control Flagger at $15.24/hour with $0.29 fringe; and Truck Driver (Dump Truck) at $18.95/hour with no fringe. The determination also references Executive Orders 13706 and 13658, which mandate paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements for covered federal contracts. The document provides guidance on rate identifiers (union rates, union average rates, survey rates, and state-adopted rates), wage determination appeals procedures, and instructions for contacting the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division for survey-related inquiries and the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations for conformance decisions and appeals.
